Ok, so I went on a pretty intense ride today, and I have the Hayes Nine hydraulic brakes. I just gotta say, I'm not impressed. Hayes kinda sucked a big one on those.

Does anyone have any preferences when it comes to the brakes? From what my buddies say, Avid is the way to go. I had some cheap Tektro Aurigas on my other bike, and they were satisfactory.

The brakes I'm really wondering about are the Avid Elixir Fives. I just found some for cheap, and didn't want to pass them up so I bought them. Any reviews? Thanks!

If you add a new trail to the site, it will be validated and added to the next version of the app. What we have found is that adding trails from the phone means that people add a lot of garbage (my back yard jumps, etc), this clutters up the app and creates frustration when people drive to trails that don't actually exist. Our goal is simple in that we want to provide quick and easy access to legal trails that are open to the public. If you look at other sites there are tons of closed trails, trails that no longer allow biking, and garbage data that is difficult to search through.

If you can provide us with a reasonable argument as to why it would be a good function, we would be happy to add it. But keep in mind that a lot more data would appear in the app that may or may not be actual trails.
